December 12, an hour before Ikeda's insanity.

When the words "September 4th" came out of his mouth, Ikeda panicked, feeling that he was once again caught in the middle of a trap, but he did not know the full extent of the trap.

Tianyi sneered: "I feel very bored every time I see your face like this, it's just sad to the extreme, you are the most unhappy one among all these traders." ”

"All traders?!" Ikeda exclaimed, "You've traded with anyone else!"

By this time, he seemed to understand something, but unfortunately it was too late.

"Yes, it's your reaction, I've seen it many times over the years, and every one of you ignores the possibility that there are other traders. To be honest, I'm not surprised, basically 90% of the human reaction is like this, so you people think about any question and come up with an answer that is stupid or stupid. ”

Ikeda asked, "Who else have you traded with......?" Miura?!Matsuo!"

Tianyi sighed: "Hey, it's too hard to communicate with you idiot, enough, this game is over here, I don't want to play with you anymore, anyway, the clue conditions are almost ready......"

He took a sip of his coffee and said unhurriedly: "I have speculated on what you might do before it happened, and the transaction is just a guide to see if your performance will exceed my expectations, but unfortunately, nothing has happened outside the scope of my calculations."

Well...... Let's start with your father, you have been thinking that he is an irresponsible drunkard for many years, and this judgment is not wrong, but Takeshi Ikeda has a bottom line for this man, and that is you.

Although you always feel that your life is not good, please keep your eyes open and take a good look, even if you are living in poverty, he still sends you to an excellent high school to study, beats and scolds you to make you a decent person, the man who left you in the zoo when you were a child, isn't it the same person who desperately looked for you everywhere later?

When you see yourself as the protagonist of the tragedy, complaining that life doesn't give you enough conditions, but you never think about changing anything on your own, people like you see only despair in front of your eyes.

You've never thought about it from anyone else's point of view, and you're seventeen years old this year, do you know your father's birthday? Do you know his past? Do you know what he thinks? You don't know anything, you're like every mortal, you only think about your own feelings, and you're jealous of people who are born superior to you, like Fujita and Miura.

But if you were put in their place, you wouldn't be Ikeda, you would be just another Miura.

Your father made you, but you are not grateful. Your heart is filled with jealousy and grievances, but you are cowardly and fearful, and your abilities are poor, and in the end, your father pays for you, and he helps you kill Miura. ”

"What!" Ikeda trembled, shook his head, his eyes glazed over, and said, "Impossible...... Impossible...... Why did Dad kill Miura?! They didn't ...... at all."

"So I just asked you if you want to change the content of the deal and hear who killed Miura, but your choice is just as selfish and stupid as it was when the first deal was completed. Tenichi interrupted Ikeda's words and said, "The night before yesterday, when you came home after witnessing Matsuo's death, your father wasn't actually asleep at that time, he just 'didn't talk to you' to complete my deal, so he could only pretend to be asleep." ”

............

When I came home in the middle of the night, I found that my son was not there, and I slept carelessly. ”

............

"Yesterday morning, when you were at school, he came to my shop to complete the transaction and then asked me about where you went last night. Because I asked him to be silent to you at certain times, he would have assumed that I knew something.

I told him that your son went to school in the middle of the night and found the body and left clues, but did not mention any details.

So, then we had a new deal, and I asked your father to help me deliver a message to you, to see if you could be inspired. You remember when your father went to search for TV news on a whim, right?"

............

"The new year is approaching, and the law and order situation in Hokkaido is still on a downward trend at the end of the year, and it is once again the last compared to all regions in the province, in addition to frequent burglaries, violent crime has also increased, and the police spokesman refused to respond to this data, and today our reporter and several experts invited by us came to ......."

............

Tianyi lazily moved his neck twice: "Judging from your expression at the moment, your memory is not too bad." Actually, I don't really read media reports myself, and I'm used to going straight to other people's thoughts, so I know in advance what news will be broadcast on TV. ”

"How many people have you traded with?" Ikeda asked, stunned.

Tianyi replied: "What you know, what you don't know, what you know, what people you know, ha! The connection between people is like an intricate line, as long as you find the right way, a small place like Hokkaido, with a very small number of transactions, you can achieve the effect of pulling a trigger and moving the whole body." He turned his head and looked at a cabinet in the corner beside him: "It's really sore to burn books these days......

The coffee in the cup bottomed out again, Tianyi added some more, and continued: "It's a pity that you, the guy who always fantasizes that you can become a hero, actually lacks a sense of social mission. To tell you the truth, I think your dream is not to be a hero, but to enjoy the treatment of a hero, but not to bear the price of a hero, that's all.

So you have no reaction at all, no questioning, no emotion after watching the news, and that's why, until I tell you that there are 'other traders', you can't think of it at all. ”

Tianyi took out a book from the drawer, flipped to the end, and turned to Ikeda: "Here are some of Miura's last thoughts. ”

Ikeda looked at the words: "Kill him...... Kill him...... Bastard...... That bastard...... Gotta kill him......"

"The guy with the wet mosquito coil lives in the middle of nowhere, just on his way from school...... I'm going to kill him anyway......"

"Damn, there's a drunkard here, we have to get him out. ”

"This guy! What the hell ......?"

This is where the text ends.

Tianyi: "You came to me yesterday, in fact, your father has been following behind, but he wants to go home before you and continue to pretend to sleep, so he can't come in to find me."

This morning, while you were arguing with Miura at school, the whale went to your house and asked your father a lot of questions, which made him more and more uneasy. So in the afternoon, when your father came to me for answers, I showed him Miura's book, and when the text was about to kill you, your father went home and got a knife.

Originally, he wanted to set up an ambush and scare Miura, but the dead fat man was naturally aggressive and fought with your father, and in the end, your father didn't do anything and killed people. ”

Ikeda pounced forward and grabbed Tianyi's neckline: "It's you! It's all your manipulation!

Tianyi casually pushed him away: "If there is a father, there must be a son, what a virtue." He tidied up his clothes: "Thanks to my kindness, I kindly helped your father clean up the scene, slice the body and move it to another place." That uncle...... How can you run away after killing someone and throwing a knife, and it's not open defecation. ”

"Why are you doing this!!" Ikeda yelled.

Tianyi said indifferently, "On the night of the 8th, Matsuo came back from delivering the videotape and asked me this question as well, and I told him, 'Because I want to see your greed', and later, at my suggestion, he gave up his book of the heart and traded with me a secret of someone else, a secret that could make him rich. You made a mistake the morning before yesterday, he wasn't sneering at you, he was looking at Miura, who was sitting in the back row of you.

And Miura, who came to me on the nineth, also came to me and asked me this question, and I told him, 'Because I want to see your brutality,' so he made a deal with me, and I promised him that he would always keep his mouth shut, and the condition was that he would beat you up the next morning. Although he was skeptical, beating you was commonplace, and he had no reason to refuse the deal.

On the tenth, that is, the day before yesterday, when you walked into my shop with a belly full of resentment, did you ever think that today, I will say to you, I just want to see your jealousy? ”

"You're crazy...... Mad!" Ikeda stepped back.

"Hahahaha......" Tianyi really looked like a madman: "Okay, get out." You kind of waste, I don't even have the interest in leaving the 'reverse cross'. But you've played a role in my game, and I'll tell you two more things at the end.

First, the whale bird never doubted you from the beginning, he has a special ability, such as fingerprints, footprints, blood stains, etc., the whale can immediately see with the naked eye, and he can restore everything that happened on the scene that day.

Matsuo has two strangulation marks on his neck, although the middle part is overlapping, but when he hangs on the beam for a long time, the depth of the marks on both sides of the neck will be different from the middle one, and any policeman can finally judge that this is a disguised suicide, and the fingerprints you left on the ground will not become any evidence, because the night guard that day did exactly the same thing as you, and he also sat on the ground and crawled backwards after seeing the corpse. The murderer will not leave such traces, and no one will be frightened by the scene they have just arranged.

Yesterday I just used Miura to stimulate you, and you did what I wanted, in fact, Miura is not so clever, his murder method was provided by me, but he still had flaws in his execution, which is why I said that he 'completed a decent murder', not bad and perfect, but far from it.

Therefore, every transaction you make with me has not received any real benefit, but your narrow consciousness is forcing you to become my pawn.

And the second point, your father ......" Tianyi said nonchalantly: "Will you commit suicide in fear of sin...... Would you like to go back and have a look?"

With chilling laughter behind him, Ikeda sprinted out of the bookstore's door, never to return.
